Foods to Shrink Your Belly

]]> As we’re in the full swing of summer now, you might be wondering what you can do to look just a teensy bit better in that swimsuit! (Or pair of shorts, or tube top – do they even make tube tops anymore?)

I came across this article that says these certain foods will help you shrink that belly. Now, while I’m usually pretty skeptical about foods that claim to make you thinner, I will agree that certain foods can make you bloated. And if there are foods that can bloat, there are foods that can shrink.

There were quite a few I had heard of on this list, and a few I hadn’t. They are:

  • Quinoa
  • Green tea
  • Kefir
  • Avocado
  • Eggs
  • Grapefruit

Each of these contains something that adds to a flatter belly by boosting metabolism, adding more protein, etc.

Foods That Help Your Heart

]]> Heart disease is a serious issue for anyone, but women especially need to pay attention. Women’s Health.gov says, ” Among all U.S. women who die each year, one in four dies of heart disease.”

CNN just listed ten power foods you can eat to help your heart. These are “power foods,” the concept of which is really fascinating to me. I guess I’m one of those people who likes to multi-task and save time, and if I can eat a balanced meal that is somehow better for me than any other meal, I’m all for it!

There are plenty of great choices on this list. One thing I really like is that many of them are easily incorporated into the average diet.
